Tutorial: Easy Tin Whistle Storage

It's about time for Classical Conversation students' 6 weeks of tin whistle study. When we began CC two years ago, someone suggested a "sleeping bag" for the whistle in order to keep it protected and also to be used in class to keep it put away until the tutor was ready for the students to get them out.

Last year, I was able to make a bunch of these "sleeping bags" out of pieces of felt for my CC Community. It was an easy project which the parents and kids loved; so I've decided to share a tutorial on how to make them.

Step One: Buy several pieces of the 9 x 11 more or less rectangles of various colors of felt found in the arts and crafts section at local stores such as K-Mart and Wal-Mart. Each piece will make 2 "sleeping bags."

Step Two: Cut the felt rectangle in half long ways so that you now have two long rectangular pieces of felt.

Step 3: With a complimentary color of felt, cut out strips or wavy pieces of felt to use as a pattern on the "sleeping bag".

About Me

Old things interest and intrigue me. Simple pleasures such as blowing bubbles, swinging in a hammock, and listening to crickets chirp are some of my favorite things. I claim Kansas as my heart home, but have lived all over the U.S. - mostly midwest to southwest. My favorite things to do are to spend time with my husband and kiddos and to be creative. My creative outlets are writing, photography, and painting with inspiration coming mostly from nature, Scripture, and my family.
